How Do You Take Care of an Orchid?

Orchids do best in a humid environment and require ample watering but be careful not to over-water your orchid plant. Before watering your orchid plant, poke your finger about an inch into the soil. If it is dry, you can give your orchid some more water. Orchids need strong, indirect sunlight. Place your orchid near a south or east-facing window if you can to give your plant the best amount of light!
If your home isn’t very humid, you can mist your plant once per day. To prolong the life of your orchid plant, you may consider fertilizing it once per month and pruning any dead blooms to encourage fresh flowers. Single orchid blooms can survive anywhere between 9 to 14 months, making them a lovely, lasting gift for plant lovers and admirers alike.
Looking for a beautiful flower for an event that doesn’t require long term care? FTD has plenty of striking floral arrangements like our colorful gerbera daisy bouquets— an excellent choice for wedding bouquets when you’re searching for the perfect flowers for your bridesmaids to carry down the aisle.

Do Orchids Bloom Different Colors?

With fine petals, stately stalks, and a variety of color options, the gorgeous simplicity of a fresh orchid flower can’t be measured.
